to improve. I also hope that Wanda is in good health after her kind care of the twins as well as her own little ones Please
give my love to her and also to Helen when you write or see her. I am so glad she is getting on so well in the desert. When
you write please tell me a little about your trip to Honolulu - You no doubt feel that you have lost a good friend in the
death of Mr Harrisman With love to Maggie and all the others I am most affectionately Sister Joanna 1 Dear brother John:-
It seems long since I had a letter from you and I think it is probably my own fault, and if so I will do my part and then
hope for a letter. A letter, recently, from David spoke of a new book you have had published, and which I am anxious to see,
for I remember your telling a beautiful dog story when we met the last time at mother's and I would like sin illegible sely
to see it in book 04373
